Subject: Voting doesn't work?

How many out there think this country is a Democracy? Or is it more of a one party state masquerading as a two party state? The Democrats are on the inside as the Republicans are on the outside. Each having almost identical financial backers.

Did you vote for the Pentagon?
Did you vote for Wall Street?
Did you vote for a nuclear arms race?
Did you vote for the CIA?
Ever try reading the Bill of Rights to a cop?

People didn't vote for 'star wars.' People didn't vote for drug wars. No one voted for acid rain. No one looked at the ballots and thought, "Hmmm, I think I'll be homeless this year."

Hardly anyone in this country votes at all any more.

Meanwhile people in places like China and South Africa are out there dying just for the right to vote. But in America, people take it for granted and they just pout and stay home, figuring their wishes aren't respected anyway.
